You're a hero in my book, Gordon, in all meanings of the phrase!What do I get for being in both of those categories?

Yes of course, but what will you give him?A big smoochy kiss and a cuddle in a nice warm blankie while being fed chocolate?
I picture a golden adonis. And very generous. I've said it for years.You're a hero in my book, Gordon, in all meanings of the phrase!
Well, I'm watching Gordon now - you aren't far wrong, to be fair...I picture a golden adonis. And very generous. I've said it for years.
Just keep him with you will you? Cheers.Well, I'm watching Gordon now - you aren't far wrong, to be fair...
It has often occurred to me that sex for gay men in the time before lube existed must have been very trying indeed.They may have been wasting their time! I seem to recall that a number of studies concluded that pirates were a gay old lot.
Those cries of "Arghhh!" may have been the punctuation to many a jolly rogering.

I had a mate who would only go out with tiny girls who fitted in the wind pocket behind him. He wasn't a biker in the normal sense - he was a speed loon who drag raced a highly tweaked Kawa Z-1. He used to sit on Southend sea front outside the Liberty Bell (we're talking a long time ago, right?) and wait for someone to go by showing off - popping wheelies or whatever - and then try to beat them to the Kursaal roundabout from a standing start.I was only a Moll... and you are right, you don't leave Do I count as an aspirational figure? (say yes, say yes, pretty please with jam and brass knobs on say yes!)
You've got me thinking now about reading 'Freewheelin Frank' as a teenager and the associated; Ken Kesey, the Merry Pranksters, acid tests, Hunter S. Thompson, Altamont, Laurel Canyon, Woodstock....all a far cry from England, but nevertheless...I had a mate who would only go out with tiny girls who fitted in the wind pocket behind him.

The fun we had. 'Course, quite a lot of us died. The BBC (I think) made a doc about the Southend bike scene in about 1983 ish.
Incidentally Southend in those days was a patch free zone - some sort of agreement between clubs at a level I never aspired to.

'Carse' (alternately 'kerse') is an old Scots word for a low lying, flat, fertile alluvial plain next to a river. I live on one.Did this thought inspire your user name?

Interesting. I spent a bit of time looking up the etymology.'Carse' (alternately 'kerse') is an old Scots word for a low lying, flat, fertile alluvial plain next to a river. I live on one.
I write as a straight man, but my understanding based on a little cautious Googling before writing this, and occasional conversations with gay male friends and some straight female friends, is that anal sex is considerably less common among gay men than many straight people assume, and is a lot more common among heterosexual couples than you might imagine.It has often occurred to me that sex for gay men in the time before lube existed must have been very trying indeed.
I should imagine that many gay men are tired of anal sex related comments and jokes and wonder why so many straight people go on about it.
I've been watching the dramatised documentary The Lost Pirate Kingdom on Netflix. It's about the Caribbean pirates, and paints most of them as a fairly honourable lot most of the time. I don't know how accurate any of it is, but I found it highly enjoyable. Strange that it's called The Lost Pirate Kingdom when it centres on the Nassau Republic.
I'm offended by this stereotyping. Keep it up and I'll keel-haul ye.Aaaarrrr, it be good stuff. I give it pieces of eight out of ten.

You beat me to it, although your humour is without the delightful vulgarity mine would have had...They may have been wasting their time! I seem to recall that a number of studies concluded that pirates were a gay old lot.

"Let me guess . . . Long John?"
People want to read about Bad Boys being reformed by the love of A Good Woman.
See also: Vikings.They were there to plunder for a purpose, and gained a certain reputation as daredevils and swashbucklers as a result.
Pirates are just murderous thieves and raiders.
